| Song of New ScotlandOdes have been sung and stories have
been told of a land that God touched long, long ago. A land that shone like a beacon of light for the restless souls that came to call you home. This is a land where the children play and the spirits of the past dance with joy in the moonlight. Oh New scotland your beauty is a sight to behold. I feel at peace as waves of silken black crash upon your shores of ancient stone. The wind sings a song to the sea as the waves make their way home. I sit upon your crown of moss and watch as a white mist rolls in from the North and the sea moans its siren song. I wrap myself in woolen fare as the mist envelops the shore. This is your womb that calls me home. Oh New Scotland your land within is blessed as no land was blessed before. Your fields of green sway in a breeze from the coast as horses and cattle graze in the sun. Old sol laughs out loud as horse named Paint gallops and winnes out loud as it mane flows in the air. How happy it must be to run in a land so free. I watch as the harvest begins and the land gives up its bounty once again. The hay is rolled on to fields of golden brown as man and beast welcome the coming frost. This land that is so alive will be at peace as a carpet of snow embellishes its fields. Oh New Scotland the air is alive with the music of your past. Your fiddles and pipes call to me from distant places of my mind. I can sing your song of hope as the pipes draw me near. I dance a jig as never before and sing a song that your forefathers lived to sing and die for. Odes have been sung and stories have been told of a land that God touched long, long ago.
